TITS_OUT Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I've always gone to Firestone on Langdon's road, Papanui. Bloke there Chris is always really good to deal with and loves his old school's, I'd give them a try man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crownin_Round Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 My mate used to work at flags I already been there as I said all the places ive been to for 4 tyres fitted and only 2 balanced is $60 at the cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crownin_Round Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 $10 a tyre fitted with no balancing is std rates im talking about hook ups i.e an 18 pack etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I would struggle to get an 18 pack for $20 unless you are talking about DB Bitter or something. 2 x $10 a tyre = $20 I think I paid $12 incl balancing per tyre at Ian Scobies on Wairakei Rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I got cashy deal - 4 tyres fitted and balanced for $40. So unless they are a personal mate I doubt someone is going to do the same for an 18 box of Ranfurly.. Best option is stump up $40 cash and walk into some servo with a tyre machine on a Saturday morning and wave the cash in the man in charges face - chances are he'll do it for you.

spiderwebfx Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Man if you were in Rotorua I'd sort you out no worries. Probably only charge around ~$20 if you could drop the wheels off in the evening and pick them up the next day. Albeit I can't help you out, if any Rotorua member's need anything, let me know.

RUNAMUCK Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 The CHCH os massive is sorely missing our tame tyre fitter. It's like a death in the family. I'm gonna need four fit and balances real soon too. Might have to try people I vaugely know, cap in hand........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Mainstream Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 In Bromley on maces just down from wreckers is Discount tyres. Old dude with suit and tie under his overalls is a top-man for doing tyre fitting. He'll do for $10 each, just might have to help jack it up etc. Will only charge $5 if you can use the tyre changer. Usually open late also as it appears he runs some sort of half taxi operation on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crownin_Round Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Tonys next door also charge $10 for a fit x4 $40 then balancing on top 15-20 a pair so discount tyres is not so discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crownin_Round Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 cheers for the suggestions goize but as I said ive been around the tyre places and being a poor student I dont really have that sorta cash flying around so was "trying to find a "hook up" i.e under $10 a fit or 4 tyres fitted and maybe 2 balanced for $40, I didnt think that was too un reasonable but alas it must be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullen Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 yeah, shits getting expensive. tonys blenheim road never use to charge me, not sure why seeing as i didnt know them. maybe cos i was there every monday needing tyres changed. ps chris go back to firestone!

CUL8R Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I would've fitted & balanced all four for $40, new valves (not worth pissing around with shitty old ones) But yea, not there any more. New place of work on Tuesday, will see what sort of deals I can sus.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
